Harvest Garden Product Reviews

Harvest Garden is an Australian family owned business creating skincare products from nature with two simple philosophies.Firstly, Harvest Garden believes you should be able to read a label and understand the ingredients.Secondly, Harvest Garden believes that what you put ON your body is as important as what you put IN it!I totally agree!As a result when I was given the opportunity to trial three Harvest Garden bath and beauty products I was so excited and accepted instantly!

This soothing blend of butters, oils and extracts moisturises, repairs and protects your lips. Enriched with shea butter for added nourishment, pink grapefruit for its uplifting citrus scent, passionflower extract for its antioxidant benefits and pink clay for a hint of colour.

All the ingredients of this facial masque are contained in its product title! Thus the ingredients of this facial masque are kaolin clay, activated coconut charcoal, licorice root extract and gotu kola extract.

Clay is a natural gift from mother earth that draws out impurities and toxins with its naturally absorptive abilities.

Activated coconut charcoal helps to tighten pores, smooth the skin and reduce inflammation, which is significant in preventing premature aging. It also contains antibacterial properties making it ideal for oily and acne prone skin types.

Licorice root extract is used for soothing, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.

To make up this masque you need to add one teaspoon of this clay with up to one teaspoon of liquid of your choice and then mix it into a paste before applying it to your face with the included brush. You then leave it on for 15-20 minutes and remove it before it hardens.

You can use a number of different liquids such as diluted apple cider vinegar, honey or your favourite carrier oil.The bottle of facial masque is reportedly enough for up to 16 applications.

The first time I used this mask I added Manuka honey to it which was a bit too sticky and messy for my liking and hard to mix and apply.The second time I added a mist toner instead and loved it! It was easier to mix, easier to apply and easier to remove! Plus my skin received the benefits of the toner and masque! I'll be using the mist toner again next time.My skin felt cleansed, tightened, refreshed, smoothed and nourished after I removed the masque.Now you know what's coming don't you?!! One simply cannot write a review about a facial masque without including an obligatory mask selfie - lol! So here it is! Would you answer the front door looking like this?

Oh that scrub sounds amazing! Shame about the peppermint oil. THough not pregnant I'm still breastfeeding and they say to avoid similar things as you did in pregnancy so I'll need to keep it in mind to get later. It just sounds like it smells so good!

I love the notion of being able to understand WHAT is going on (and in) your body. I remember - in about 1985!!! - doing a modelling course when apricot flavoured face creams or similar was big and the model school director was like... Don't put that stuff ON your face, put it IN your mouth! #teamlovinlife

If you had of told me a couple of years ago I'd be putting up a photo of myself onto the internet I would have laughed at you. If you had of told me it would be wearing a face mask I would have told you that you were crazy! Now look at me!!! Unbelievable!

No wonder you jumped at the chance Ingrid, these products have everything going for them. Incidentally I rarely leave the bedroom when I'm masking (so I don't scare the cat), no way would I answer the door! Your obligatory photo is lovely - you look so happy and healthy xxx
